Like looking in a mirror
Pulled up in traffic somewhere near Edgware today and parked next to me was an identical car to mine, a gold sterling coupe.
Number plate said JAZ**** something.
Never seen another on the road.

My wife loves those spooky supernatural urban myths that everyone swears "really happened", and one of her faves is of a guy who worked for, like, the gas board or summit, in the 70s or 80s who was driving home in the works van one night and saw another, identical van up ahead. Pulling alongside to see which of his colleagues was also working late, he's confused and horrified to see himself in it.
And no, it can't have been a reflection.
Makes you think, eh?
Honestly. All them "Take A Break" magazines want banning!

I recall watching with great joy how a woman in the car park in Safeway**, Troon walked up to her brand new gold mk4 Golf, pointed the remote plipper at it, pressed the button and then shrieked with shock as the identical car 3 places behind here bleeped and flashed its lights. If memory serves me right she even dropped her shopping bag.
All these "moderns" look alike, don't they?
** Safeway - now that dates it!

I have only 2 photos of my motor, but luckily on the "800 Web Pages" directory (you must know it? By a guy called Dave Pallant, I think?) there's an 'owner's cars' pic of a Vit identical to mine, which even luckier is a side-on view, and I am ashamed to admit I have, in the past, passed this off as my own car....

Look a like...
Reading about the woman and her Mk4 Golf in Safeways car park reminded me of not long after i'd just got my first SD1 V8. The previous owner had resprayed it a horrible orange colour from it's original metallic gold. In the twilight, i'd parked in a car park that was lit by sodium lighting, that horrrible orange colour lighting!! Went off, did my shopping, came back and got into my car. My first thought was that someone had changed the instruments while i'd been gone and converted it to manual!! I then realised i'd got into a WHITE 2300 SD1 manual!! Well it looked the same horrible orange as mine did in the sodium lighting!! Thankfully the owner saw the funny side when his keys not only opened mine, they started it too!! Trouble was, it took me more time to persuade him he really wanted to go back to his 2300 and not drive off in my V8 than it did to do my shopping!!
Those were the days when if you locked your keys inside the car you didn't have to look far for help!!

Going back forty years, my father bought a new Cherry Red Triumph 2000. It was only a few month's old, when he went shopping, came back to the car, unlocked it, started it, looked in the mirror to move off..... and thought, that's strange, I don't have a trilby on the back seat. Got out, locked the car, went three cars down the row, unlocked his car ....Richard Moss wrote:I recall watching with great joy how a woman in the car park in Safeway**, Troon walked up to her brand new gold mk4 Golf, pointed the remote plipper at it, pressed the button and then shrieked with shock as the identical car 3 places behind here bleeped and flashed its lights.

A couple of years back my Bro-in-Law had a Toyota Thinggy. After filling it with petrol at Morrisons, he went to pay, returned to the car and got into the BACK seat and wondered where his steering wheel had gone Got out and moved across to his car and drove off to a faint sound of laughter Actually, it may have neen gales of laughter, but he was in a hurry to exit the scene
